Trump Gives Displaced IT Workers Attention, and He's Not Alone (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: The H-1B visa issue is getting more attention than it has ever received before. Donald Trump has invited laid-off Disney workers to speak at his rallies, and has posed in photos with them. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), held a press conference this week to complain that visa workers are being hired instead of U.S. workers. Legislation to reform the visa program has been introduced, and discrimination complaints are being filed with federal agencies and in the courts. But these efforts may have little impact. If visa restrictions arrive, IT services firms may increase reliance on web-based "knowledge transfer" to avoid having visa workers at an employer's site. There have also been reports of U.S. workers traveling overseas to train replacements on foreign soil. [Even with all the political and legal efforts,] there's no certainty any action will derail the forces moving IT jobs overseas.
Bernie has the dumbest economic policies ever proposed by a serious presidential candidate. The FTT alone confirms he's a huge retard that's running on pure populist stupidity.
Trump won't tank the country.
But if it infuriates whack jobs like you to think he might, that's a good thing.
I'm looking forward to giant walls and all Muslims wearing yellow crescents with stars so they can be easily identified "for our safety". And those free hoodies they're going to give out. Too bad they're only available in white. Oh, and those lovely pine scented crosses you can burn in your neighborhood to freshen the air. Those'll be nice too.
